Can this visualisation be archive? Line chart
fjam0 You need to unpivot REC1 and 2 together, in the same step (use Ctrl key or Shift key to select them together and unpivot). So your data should look like this when you're done:
Genero Cargo FRanquicia Nombre PDV Cat Value Fem REC1 5 Fem REC2 5 Fem You still have two columns for REC1 and Cat, but need only 1 column for Cat that lists the REC1 AND REC2 with the value in the column next to it.
If this still doesn't make sense, can you post what your data looks like before the unpivot please?

Hello Greg_Deckler ,
Thank you for you super fast reply. Unfortunately, PowerBI doesnt let me put Gender on the legend option. Thus, I can upload my pbix file if it's more easy to view.

fjam0 Thanks for the pictures - they're helpful. From what I see, you have two fields in the values, REC1 and REC2. You cannot use both a legend and two values, only one OR the other.
If you are wanting these displayed as category axis, then they need to be unpivoted so that you have a table that looks like this:
| Gender | Category | Average |
| Male | REC1 | 4.3 |
| Female | REC1 | 4.4 |
| Male | REC2 | 4.4 |
| Female | REC2 | 4.4 |
To do this, click Transform Data to open the Query Editor, navigate to your data table that you're trying to graph, and select all the REC values, then click Unpivot (or better way might be to select all the columns that are NOT REC values and click Unpivot other columns, just depends on how much your data will change from Excel).
Then rename the 'Attribute' to 'Category' and 'Values' to 'Average' or whatever names you prefer.
Once you've done that, you can put Category in Category, Gender in Legend and Average in values.

Hello AllisonKennedy .
Thank you so much for your time and great answer.
I tried what you say and I have partially solved the issue.
- I unpivoted the columns that you told me and I got the table:
- So I got Gender, Category, and Values or average, etc.
- Then I proceed to do the line chart:
- I succesfully can now illustrate the first of the values, with the category on Axis, Gender on Legend and Rec1 on values.
- From there, I the only thing left is to be able to include REC2 in the values, but I dont know if this is possible through this way. When I click it, it goes to tooltip section and it only show.
- The final goal for me is to be able to visualise, for males and females, REC1 and REC2 as a line chart.
Thanks again Allison
